New Japanese Releases (manga and light novels)

[larethian]

Sad to say, the November releases by Fujimi appear to be disappointing, and overly repetitive, plotwise, genre wise (my first impressions). I'm sick of these shit:

But after reading some reviews on 十六夜聖域 (Izayoi Santuary) (an october release), I might give it a shot:

Fortunately for me, "I'll make you into an Otaku, so make me into a Riajuu" is a serialized series woohoo! v2 to be released this month:

check out the cover for Izayoi Santuary then. the reviews feel that this is more shounen battle. it also has a delinquent theme, and the fights are well written. the characters also look interesting.

some reviews:

Damn, now you are making me interested. Just by reading the title, this book sounds interesting. Other then what's on the title, what is it about?

DOes any one know if this is any good ?

Is it just me, or are titles these days getting longer and longer?

The more unique the title, the more attention it creates (Ore no Imōto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai!)

And the more parodies that can be created

Looking at the December line up from Dengeki Bunko, wasn't C3 and Horizon and a number of other titles just released a volume in October ?

I never noticed it, but after you mentioned it, it does seem to be the case especially for the mainstream harem/rabukome, and even more so for the new titles.

depends on the release schedule for the title. the author may have finished the series long ago, but they are released strategically, and sometimes in line with other stuff with their magazines.

I know an author who has a 6 month consecutive release schedule before for 3 titles.

I also think so, and some series' title are so ridiculous that I think it's better used as catchphrase rather than title (I mean, who in their right mind would use a question as a title? -_-")

jeez, I need to get my own CAD already.

[Chaos2Frozen]

Isn't this a relatively new title? I thought I saw volume 1 on the Dengeki site only a few months ago and it's already getting a manga ?

What's the synopsis?

What's the synopsis?

fyi, it already has 3 volumes published (the web novels started in 2008 though I'm not sure whether it has already ended). synopsis available here.

(I just ordered volume 3 from my local Kinokuniya, and they said they can't guarantee me they can get it from the supplier!? WTH!? It's just 10 days since it was launched.)

[Master Assassin]

I'm not exactly one with the fastest pieces of information relay available in mind, but here's one just for the sake of putting here, as obtained from here (which I actually got into from an illustrator's work in Pixiv )

Light Novel Release: Wakareru Riyuu o Nobenasai! (別れる理由を述べなさい！)
Author: Hirota Ryou (太田 僚)
Illustrator: H2SO4



Unfortunately, I'm unable to fully translate the synopsis because of my lack in skills, the gist I could get is that a super-sadist beautiful girlfriend (Akino) doesn't want to break up with her masochist boyfriend, Yukito. I'm... fairly interested, though my bad habit when it comes to light novels is that the cover will be the first thing to attract my attention

Here's the synopsis in the original language should anyone have interest:

突然、超ドＳの美少女・秋乃に告白されて、よくわからないまま付き合うことになったドＭの雪人 。
肝心なことはお預けだけど、それなりに幸せな調教生活を送っていたのに……なぜか俺と秋乃が××すると、こ の世界が崩壊するらしい!?
「秋乃、俺と別れ――」
「絶対イヤ！」
別れたい少年と、別れたくない少女が世界の命運を巻き込む青春系ＳＦラブコメ！

Release(d) date is... uh, 19th November which was 2 days ago, I guess either I'm overly busy at work or I'm too slow to notice.

Also from the same site:

Ore ga Ojousama-gakkou ni "Shomin Sanpuru" Toshite Rachirareta-ken (俺がお嬢様学校に「庶民サンプル」として拉致られた件)
Author: 七月 隆文 (pronunciation?)
Illustrator: 閏 月戈 (pronunciation?)



Synopsis: I'm too lazy to read the whole details, but tells about a guy who got kidnapped to an Ojou-sama school to be an "Example of a commoner." Probably to teach the girls about how to treat commoners well, I suppose (and hope).

Ahhh~ Magitech, why art thou everywhere -_- ?

Oh ho? And a kyoudai combi as well? What thy fook ?

But I can see why this would attract the same crowd as SAO, and then some... >.>

You know for some reason I keep thinking it's Hiro Kanzaki's design when I see the cover This isn't the first time- I thought Kokoro Connect and... What's that title again...? (4 minutes later)... Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko, was by him as well



...Lol, "Say the reason for parting with me!", now that's just adorable

I'm interested because I have this evil habit of going sadistic seeing girls cry during a breakup in a series. Or anything that is a heartbreak for them.

[kuroishinigami]

The boy want to brek up with the girl because if they do xx(not sure what this means. Kiss? Ecchi things?) the world will be destroyed.
